ANOTHER LETTER FROM DUNN.
ARE ONLY HE AND SCOTT NvoLvEDi


abrc adj that there Ia great deal In the affair hich
| yet to be eIplsaed and that there sre mysteries
connected with it which those most nearly interested
in hurr, to Thoquestions uppormost in
every rnes mind Has Dunn got the money safely
concealed as 1t possible that poor Scott got less
than $4,000 OF the large sum which he succeeded
In taking from the bank and thas Dunn has all the
restP "Was else In the steal but Scott ana
Dunnp "will the bank bring Scott back from Lon
don to testify against Dunn r. care all the arrests
made yetp
well-known criminal lawyer said yesterday to
TRIBUNE reporter that according to his know ledge OF
the manner in which stolen money is divided, an
equal division generally takes place, and that
instances where OF the participants in the crime
approprates the whole much tine larger portion OF
tbe plumber lie was, therefore, OF the
opinion that Dunn had not by any means the largo
sum with which he s credited. but that good share
OF the banks money had gone elsewhere
Where - asked the reporter.
3That is for the officers of the Manhattan Bank
and Its attorneys and detectives to find out l under
stand that after six months ent Dunn's tracks,
for they began watching his movements last March,
the banks detectives were unable to exhibit ono
suspicious circumstance concerning him. He is q sly
dog, you ay be sure and If he has any part OF that
money the bank will red cent OF what
he has. Dunn has probably made up his mind exactly
what he will have to suffer order to keep 1t, and If
convicted and punished, when he out of prison
he will not be obliged TO worry about how he will get
his living. But he hasn't got all of that money you
may lie sure"
The reported found Dunn much as usual, thank
you, sir" when he called W on the prisoner in the
Ludlow Street Jail. Mr.. Dunn was, In tact, more
than ever the picture OF conentment. He was as
unruhied as q coudless summers sky, and was
evidently in the possession Of very satisfactory
All attempts however, to draw from him anything in
reference to ME wheat proved as hereto

wheat market with both New-YOrk aud Chicago
brokers. but decined to give the names OF any OF

There are other things besides the W. nor yet

Dunn an.werod only with a smile and shrug OF his
shoulders which was plainly enough intended to
